CARLIsLE's SPEECH.
Mr.. Carlisle, on taking bis seat as chair
man. said: "For the first time in a quarter
of a century the responsibilities OF the gov
eminent are on the Democratic party, and
il must meet them in spirit OF brave and
unselfsh patriotism. II it ever had preju
dices It must forget them. Ii it ever felt
the spirit of faction it must silence it. This
prescribes nobody, coerces nobody, but it
bases party organization on principles and
makes party action honest. This
is not an appropriate time or
nlace for an elaborate discussion of the
question, and shall not attempt it. That
viii be done during the progress of the can
vass, and hope it may be in my power to
take an humble part in it, not as candi-
date for any office, directly or Indirectly, at
fine disposal of the people, but simply as a
Democrat profoundly convinced that the
hest interests of the country will be pro-
NOTED by the combined ascendancy of
Democratic principles and methods Zap
plause.]
THE HOPE OF THE PEOPLE.
s'I believe, gentlemen, that large ma
ioritv of the people are now looking to the
Democratic party to protect them and their
property from the encroachments and spoil
ations of what is called fraternal govern
ment on one side and from threatened de-
predations of agrarianism on the other. 1t is
the only practical organizaon that has helped
topromote the growth of the country during
the whole century of the governments
existence. 1t is the great conservative force
of the country, and it is stronger in num-
Der to day than it ever was before, while its
purposes are as patriotic and its political
fruits as sound as they were in the days of
jefferson and jackson. If the people can
not rely upon the strength and courage of
their party for the protection of
their rights of person and property, and the
preservation of their political franchises,
where shall they look for safety9
REPUBLICANS UNTRUSTwoRTHY.
''Can they trust the Republican partye
That party has thoroughly demonstrated it's
incapacity to govern free people in times
Of peace, and it must go the way of its
Federal progenitors. loud applause.l Gen
tlemen, is it not a singular fact that strong
feeling of sympathy should exist between
those who want a government and
those who want no government
While one faction advocates governmental
interferences in all affairs of the people, an
other faction opposes this kind of govern
ment The man who belives that it is the
right and duty of the government to take
the earnings of one citizen, by taxation or
otherwise, and give them to another, differs
very little from the man who denies the
right Of property altogether. [Cheers and
applause.l
IF the government may rightfully COM
pei you by law to give any part of the pro-
ceeds OF your labor or your skill to another
man, why may it not, with equal right,
compel you to give him your horse or your
land! The fact that this is done indirectly
and under the guise of taxation does not in
the slightest affect the question of right or
wrong, but it greatly increases the danger
to the people because they are
less likely to detect and resist
poliation when it is committed through
this insiduous process, and if the government
may collect money by taxation and then di-
VHle 1t as bounty and subsidy to individuals
OF corporations engaged i'll particular indus
tiles In order to make their private bust
ness profitable, why may it not collect it
and distribute it among particular classes of
people in order to equalize it and thus ac-
eomplish all that Socialism and Commun-
Sm are demanding?
BUT LITTLE DIFFERENCE.
There is so little difference in the princi-
pies and results between fraternal govern
ment and mob government that it is not
worth While to express a preference We
must oppose both or we must abandon all
ulat our party has contended for and relin-
lulsh all it has hoped for"
TARIFF PLEDGES
